Trump-Era Lows & Job Losses Clash with Nuclear Hope, Rate Cut Hints

Trump Administration to Launch TrumpRx Website Amidst Other Global Economic and Political Developments

Washington D.C. - The Trump administration planned to unveil a website, TrumpRx.gov, on Thursday evening designed to help American patients purchase prescription drugs directly from manufacturers, according to Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary. The launch event, scheduled for 7 p.m., aimed to provide a platform where consumers could search for their medications and navigate to manufacturer websites to make purchases. While Leavitt claimed that millions of Americans would save money using the site, researchers who study drug pricing warned that some Americans could overpay if they use it, according to the NY Times.

The launch of TrumpRx coincided with other significant global events. The US and Iran agreed to hold nuclear talks in Oman on Friday, according to the BBC. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the meeting would start at 10:00 (06:00 GMT) in Muscat. US officials also confirmed the meeting.

In economic news, the price of Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since October 2024, reaching a value of 66,000 (48,700), according to BBC Business. This represented a 24% decrease since the start of the year. The drop occurred despite Trump's outspoken support for cryptocurrencies and promises to ease legislation on the industry.

Meanwhile, the Bank of England held interest rates steady but hinted at possible rate cuts in the future, according to Dharshini David, Deputy economics editor at BBC Business.

In the retail sector, fashion chain Quiz entered administration for the third time in six years, resulting in 109 job losses in Scotland, according to BBC Business. Administrators said the company had been struggling over the past year, culminating in poorer-than-expected sales over the Christmas period. The chain's 40 stores and seven concessions remained open for clearance sales, but its online store was closed.
